I am SO 15 again, at a school disco, snogging Penelope Hooper.

She had a tongue like an electric eel and she liked the taste of a man's tonsils.

Happy daze...

[catherinmm]

[kizzycappucinno]

[washerman1993]

1 person is probably deaf....or just unappreciative

[04sportyboy]

first thing i think of is croc. dundee......

[MeBenHalpin]

@04sportyboy Me too, that's why i've just upoaded this, as heard it in the film other evening.

[tmlafrance]

on person must be a pommy or an al queda terrorist, either way they don't like Oz music.

[tmlafrance]

@tmlafrance oops, that should be "one" not "on"

[louisebakalik]

"If You Leave Me, Can I come Too?" is a great song, too. Louise

[mamievan]

I don't know any other Mental as Anything songs but I do know this one and I still love it now as much as I did when I was 18 in 1987!

[tmlafrance]

@mamievan Check out "The Nips Are Getting Bigger", you'll love it.

[ludo281160]

Really so much hearing this song again on the radio 2011 : plenty of emotions!

at First i thought it was just Disco (Brittain has no feeling with the style). But this seems to me a rather German Song! But great to listen!

[ludo281160]

Really so much hearing this song again on the radio 2011 : plenty of emotions!

[Kallytom]

i remember the first time i heard this song, i was driving to up to glasgow on the M6 with some obescure radio station on, then this came on, ahh memories...............

[YoMomma82100]

i love this song, but these guys make me embarassed to be white

[spaceunicorn]

@YoMomma82100 I dunno man, I think they are definitely taking the piss out of their look, it's a lot more subversive than you think! ;)

[MrBigcolly]

Reg Mombassa mambo king .....

[DXvsnWo1]

Anybody who listens to this and says that they don't want to get up and have a dance is a liar!

[HitchHikersBlues]

Their greatest hits album is one of the few that I play over and over. Great band.

[Tricia46431]

Love it!!!

[samjanie1]

[MrDaveLogan]

I think Apocalypso is their best song....followed closely by Mr Natural

[maffjon]

@MrDaveLogan

At last! Someone who knows and can name some other Mentals songs!

[MrTet68]

@MrDaveLogan how about the Nips are getting bigger? this is such a feelgood song - funny it first came to most N Hemisphere listeners through the soundtrack on Croc Dundee - still awesome

[ArcadeMADErepent]

[700gsteak]

[cheesewart1]

@700gsteak andrew greedy smith...he is the only lead singer as far as i know

[MrMeadfoot]

FUCKIN MAGIC MATE !!!

[tottonfemale]

Heard this song in crocodile dundee and loved it. never knew who did it so never heard it again for many years then this morning had my dab radio on in my kitchen as i made coffee and it was played on radio solent. I found it at long last! Now to buy it from i tunes!! Thanks for Sharing!

[tmlafrance]

@tottonfemale very much the same as my experience. Had to search for years, off and on to finally find out who it was. Never tire of hearing it, and its especially poignant after my girlfriend moved back to Australia.

[xgalore77zerha268]

they are awesome

[TJae1]

 bettr quality (blushes)

[TJae1]

great quality ~ God bless ya :-)

[elroy2fast4u]

I´m not sure but I think this song wasn´t on the Org. soundtrack from the movie. Go figure.

[Holden308]

Ah the Mentals. Another great Aussie band :)

[SteveTerrell1974]

Thank you Maffjon for uploading this, was watching Crocodile Dundee last weekend and it brought back to me what a quality song this is!

[Delia1950]

Love it !!!!

[dan4318garnham]

absolutely awesome, although it's about a sad girl in a bar/club I can't help but feel happy and uplifted when I hear it!!!!

[martineric1966]

what a happy song, dont make em like that anymore..

[TheMickey30]

Wll i think its just spot on! Its a cracking tune, and memories throughout keep flooding back....Good times! Croc-dundee was also awesome, the dont make em quitethat cheesy with the 'feel good' factor anymore ay! Big up the 80's!!!

[footballgeorgiebest]

Thankyou maffjon for the reupload. I watched the original upload over 20 times!! It makes me happy and sad everytime I hear it...(wish I could go back to 1987).

[maffjon]

Thanks footballgeorgiebest. I'm still disappointed at the picture quality and the studio lighting doesn't help things.

The camerawork is shocking as well, not being able to keep up with Reg and Peter.

[andrewglover6]

@footballgeorgiebest Same here, bring back the 80's except for the fashion he he and the hair bands can stay there too!
